in
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE –
Stegall, the CFL’s
all-time touchdown leader, will be featured in part two of a special four-part
Nature of Things series entitled the Science of the Senses that
will be broadcast THURSDAY, JAN. 17 at
The episode, entitled The Science of Sense: Touch, celebrates the secret language of our first sense—the
one that connects us in profound and mysterious ways to each other and to the
sensational world around us.
In Touch,
viewers will take a journey through the skin, into the subcutaneous world of
our sensory receptors and up into the brain as we explore the hidden language
of our most essential sense.
Along the way they will
visit Stegall, the self-proclaimed Turtle-Man, who
shares tips on the secret of his success and demonstrates the power of another
secret – a hidden aspect of touch that gets him where he wants to go. Viewers
will also get to meet Ian Waterman, a man who has lost his sense of touch and
developed some amazing strategies to compensate for his loss.
